“I'm so excited with the programme for this year's Suffolk Walking Festival. I know as the patron that I am bound to say that, but it's true. We live in a beautiful county and we are constantly being told to take more exercise so here is the event that ties those together. For over 2 weeks from the 14th May there will be lots of opportunities to get out and take a stroll or stomp and learn about Suffolk. Amongst the 70 walks there is an opportunity to take a walk with a Ranger on Orford Ness, see the dragon in an outstanding landscape, find your favourite coast and woodland walks along Suffolk’s iconic coastline. David Falk and his team have worked really hard to organise events in every corner of Suffolk and to create a walk to suit you, so have a browse and book yourself in! I've dusted off my trainers and I can't wait to get walking – see you there!!”
